Reacción a "Nobel Prize in Physics awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis for their experiments with a chip that revealed quantum physics in action"

This year's Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to researchers who demonstrated the quantum behaviour of superconducting electrical circuits. From a theoretical point of view, this was a very important result because these circuits are larger than what we normally associate with quantum physics (they are called macroscopic, although they are not in the usual sense of the term). Furthermore, over time, these circuits have proven to be fundamental to the development of new quantum technologies. For example, they can be used to build the quantum bits that form some of the best quantum computers, such as those made by IBM and Google.
